Would like to change my home page. I click on options and my general tab is blank with only the ok and cancel buttons showing. How do I fix this?

In options, under the general tab, it is blank all except the ok and cancel buttons. I can't change my home page. Please help.

Hi cor-el,
Thank you for your reply. Before I had seen your reply. I went into options and under general, all of a sudden it showed what should be there. I closed browser and did it again and it didn't show. It has been blank for roughly two months. Just seems funny that I ask a question and after all this time of not showing what it should, it does, to only be blank again.
I have also been trying to update the flash player. That comes up completely blank as well with nothing showing at all. I did this several times the day before I posted my question. That same day I also hit the reset button for firefox when I was having trouble trying to update the flash player.
I did as you said to do. Nothing has changed. Is there something else that I could try?

How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

You can add a solid color theme to change the color of the top of the browser window, which includes the Menu Bar.

How can i remove the page title above the File,Edit,View,History,Bookmark tab?

how can i remove the page title above the File,Edit,View,History,Bookmark tab in firefox

In Firefox 29 and Firefox 30:
"3-bar" menu button > Customize
In the lower left, click the Title Bar button to switch the title on and off.
In Firefox 28, I actually can't remember!
I would be remiss if I didn't remind you:
* Firefox 28 is not secure: Mozilla has disclosed its [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html known security flaws].
* You can modify Firefox 30 to restore many of the UI features of earlier versions of Firefox using the techniques in the following article (and/or with assistance from forum volunteers): [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].

Why Have I lost the address bar, back/forward buttons etc, and how do I get them back or should i use internet explorer?

After updating Fire fox I seem to have lost the address bar,back/forward buttons and all my little apps. How do I get it all back and stop it from happening again?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today 21/06/10

To get the Menu bar I followed the excellent advice - I had to press the Alt key and V to get the chance to pick toolbars from the drop down menu. I just right-clicked on the blank page and hit Alt-V.
Thanks for the tip.

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac contact-list. Please Help!!!!

ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac contact-list. Please Help!!!! thanks

First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If most of them are gone, then they are gone.
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

I have lost the File Edit View History Bookmarys Yahoo Tools Help and the Home Icon how do I get them back I cant find anywhere to click to get them back can anyone help please.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

Lost the 'file, edit' etc'task bar on the left side of my mail menu. my upper left screen reads 'welcome to lightroom moblie. I never had nor can use these. how do i back to basic LR and upper left task bar?

I have lost my 'file,edit, ...' task bar from the upper left side of my LR screen. My upper left corner now reads something about welcome to Lightroom mobile. ( I have never had or used the mobile version and I can't use it anyway. ) When I push my mouse pointer up again the top of the screen the 'file, edit,...' does not reappear and stay as it has been doing for the last 3 years. How can I get it back? And, maybe what did I do so I can avoid this from happening again? Thank you. (I am not PC knowledgeable, please bear with me.)

Does the menu bar appear when you move your mouse pointer to the top of your display. If so then you could change the behavior of Lightroom via the menu Window->Screen Mode
Hope that helps

How to Change the Projector's Default Background. I would like to change the default backgound from the Apple Starfield to plain black

I want to be able to change my projectors default background while using my mac book pro. Currently it is showing Apple's signature background. I would like to change it to a plain black background so that when I disengage mirroring the screen the audience sees will go black; thus allowing me to make any necessary changes/switch programs and then engage mirroring. Any suggestions besides using a video switcher?

It is Not an Apple projector; the image is being pushed from my mac book pro.

I've lost the file, edit, bookmarks, tools headings. How can i get them back?

I've lost my headings -- file, edit, bookmarks, tools. How can I get them back?

Hello Rick.
Press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

In the Thunderbird Mail Toolbar, can you change the name of an icon? I would like to change "Write" to "Compose".

Couple of months ago I switched from MacMail to Thunderbird. The transition has gone pretty well, but I am less than enamored of T-bird Toolbar button (named Write) that you use to compose a new email. I would prefer it to be named "Compose". So I was just wondering whether there's any easy (or not) way to do that. I have done some searching for an answer to this, but I'm either searching ineffectively or there's nothing around. TIA.

You are welcome. Personally, I'm applying a bunch of patches (other than string changes) for each release, and hacking omni.ja works well for me. It's basically an optimized ZIP file and can be unpacked with many common tools. However, it may break when trying to ''re''pack it. Thus, unpack it completely into some new temporary folder, make any changes there, rename the original omni.ja and zip the folder contents into the new omni.ja (obviously while Thunderbird is down).
A more permanent option might be to create an extension that adds a "clone" of the "Write" button to the main toolbar, which is identical except for having the desired label and a different id (or maybe the same id would just override it?), then you can swap it from the toolbar's customization dialog. This certainly has a learning curve but you would be done with doing this effort once. Someone experienced in add-on writing would need to help you here (which I'm not).
Anyway, plenty of ways to screw things up. ;-)
